    If you are coming from the game then its mostly disappointing. From what I’ve heard, the production was a mess. animation quality was sub par, due to not giving animators enough time.

    Adapting a video game is pretty hard by itself, so with the scheduling issues it tuened out ro be disappointing.

        Maybe i just had very high expectations. I absolutely loved the game and i guess i went in expecting a lot more. They hired some really talented animators, and I think the adaptation deserved to be one of the best animated shows with excellent 3dcg and fight choreography (esp with thw games stunning animation as reference).

        I hope they really step up their game for the remaining episodes.

      I’ve played the game and it’s been pretty faithful. The animation quality has been really good so far with mixing 3D assets and 2D characters in fights scenes.

      I’ve delayed watching all that has been released though because of the production delays, so if there has been a dip, I have not seen it.
